Only a Lifetime

[Verse 1] How do you know if you've done everything right? Is it the love you have at hand Or the cash you kiss at night? How do you know if it was worth it in the end? Did every second really count? Or were there some you should've spent On anything but anyone you love? Was this the life that you were dreaming of? A movie night, a yellow light You're slowin' down and days are adding up [Chorus] So don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that’s only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it [Verse 2] I'm unimpressed by the people preachin' pain For the sake of some small game In the sake of someone's name I'm unprepared for my loved ones to be gone I call 'em way too often now Worry way too much about Mom [Chorus] Don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that’s only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it [Bridge] It's family and friends and that's the truth The fountain doesn't give you back your youth You're stayin' up too late at night and laughin' under kitchen lights So hard, you start to cry [Chorus] Don't waste the time you have Waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it
